Problems solved by technology

The classification and management of data is one of the most difficult tasks faced by corporations, government entities, and other large users of information.
Data exchanges face a bigger challenge in that they must work with multiple companies and develop a comprehensive classification system for their buyers.
However, no existing classification database is comprehensive enough to address all the issues associated with building a classification system.
These issues include: uniform numbers for products that cross multiple industries, restricting products from inclusion in classification, and non-usage of slang or industry standard language to access or classify products.
The classification databases frequently do not address all the products, thus resulting in inconsistencies even when companies use the same classification system.
Additionally, many of the various classification systems conflict with each other.
This program requires companies to pay multiple fees and go through a lengthy administrative process.
Even then it may not cover all products in an industry.
These efforts can be costly, and for this reason, compliance is generally not high.
However, under current practices, most exchanges offer barely adequate search capabilities for their buyers.
In many instances the buyer will fail to find the product that they seek.
These existing processes could therefore be characterized as cumbersome, time consuming, frustrating and ineffective.
Another challenging data management task is the transmission of data between dissimilar systems.
Transmitting data between such systems can be a time-consuming and expensive task.
Thus, in adapter-based systems, CPU load considerations may affect when and how often data pulls can be scheduled.
It is well known that when large amounts of data are being transmitted between systems, a system error (i.e., stoppage) and / or data loss (i.e., dropout) may occur.
With conventional adapter-based system architectures, debugging a system stoppage can be very challenging because of the large number of conversion processes involved, and because most systems do not have an integrated way to indicate the point at which processing stopped, relying instead upon error logs.
For example, if the host system is used for OLTP (on line transaction processing) during the day, pulling bulk data from the host system in order to replace data lost in a previous data transfer may be delayed until the late night hours.
Of course, the delay in processing the data can have an adverse impact of its own.

Embodiment Construction

[0073]Referring now to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a system diagram for the presently disclosed system. There are illustrated three transactional systems, 102, 104 and 106. Transaction system 102 is comprised of a router 108 that is interfaced with a network mesh 110, which network mesh 110 is local to the system 102. The network mesh 110 allows the router 108 to interface with various system nodes. There is provided a host system node 114 that is the node at which a transaction arises. Also attached to the network mesh 110 is an archival server 116 and a conversion server 118, the function of which will be described hereinbelow. Since the host system 114, the servers 116 and 118, and the router 108 are all in the same network mesh 110, they communicate in a common protocol to that of the network mesh 110, and also may have the ability to communicate over the network mesh 110 with other network protocols that presently exist and any future protocols that would be developed at a lat...

Abstract

Method and apparatus for generating unique id packets in a distributed processing system. A method for facilitating processing over a network includes generating at a server location on the network a pointer that defines an information profile on the network. The pointer is then associated with the information profile, and the pointer and the associated information profile transmitted to at least two locations on the network. The pointer can then be transmitted to one of the at least two locations on the network from another location on the network during a processing operation on the network for the purpose of processing a network transaction at the receiving one of the at least two locations on the network, which network transaction requires the associated information profile, such that only transmission of the pointer is required for the processing operation.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 841,135, filed Apr. 24, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,950,437 entitled “System and Method for Transmission of Information Between Locations on a Computer Network with the USE of Unique Packets,”TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]CL This invention is related to data processing systems and their architecture. In one aspect, it relates to a network component for retransmitting data packets in accordance with ID codes embedded therein in a distributed manner.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The classification and management of data is one of the most difficult tasks faced by corporations, government entities, and other large users of information. Companies must classify their data in such a way to make it easy and simple for buyers to find and purchase their products. Data exchanges face a bigger challenge in that they must work with multiple companies and develo...
